Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chess Queen finally arrived. She was live now, and kickin' up her heels! No matter that her journey covered several continents and arrived 500 years late, she was free to roam the chessboard. Queen Isabella of Spain had gained power; she could wield political authority. She did, and the world was never the same. Isabella set the pace. Black Queens, and white queens became "Mad Queens" as their chess pieces were freed to run amuck across the chessboard, and that changed chess forever. Though they left the starting blocks at the same time, it took about another 600 years for women to acquire the Chess Queen's freedom of movement and choice and that, to this day, isn't everywhere. But the Chess Queen's travails on the board, since she must aggressively confront mostly male opposition, made her resourceful. Her Chess Queen's Gambit became the most popular opening, used in the highest levels of chess. The women's gambit, the carefully considered strategy to enhance Women's Power, works also as we watch women march on and make history happen.

But staying neutral in a galactic war doesn't pay the bills, not when both sides refuse to trade with neutral sectors. With her people on the brink of starvation, Samara hatches a daring plan to snatch the kidnapped Kos Emperor from the Quint mercenaries holding him. The Kos Empire will pay a fortune for their emperor's return, enough to feed the Coalition's citizens while they wait for the return to a begrudging peace. But when her plan goes sideways, Samara finds herself evading Quint mercenaries with the very man she intends to capture. And the more time she spends with Valentin Kos, the more she realizes that he's not the coldly indifferent villain she imagined. Torn between duty and desire, Samara must decide if saving her people is worth giving up the one thing she's always wanted.

Taxes are crippling, harvests are failing, and the people are desperate for change. A charismatic rebel leader, the Tiger, emerges, igniting a firestorm of dissent that threatens to tear the kingdom apart. Queen Amara, determined to quell the rebellion without bloodshed, takes a daring step. Disguised as a commoner, she ventures into the heart of the rebellion – a dingy tavern known as The Rusty Flagon. Here, she hopes to understand the rebels' grievances and find a peaceful solution. But Amara's mission is fraught with danger. The rebels are fiercely loyal to the Tiger, and a traitor lurks within their ranks, feeding information to the palace guard. When Amara's true identity is discovered, she finds herself captured and thrown into the heart of the rebellion's lair. Facing the wrath of the Tiger and the machinations of the palace guard, Amara must use her wit and courage to survive. She devises a daring plan to sow discord within the rebellion, exploit the traitor, and ultimately expose the true enemy – the corrupt palace advisor who has fueled the flames of dissent for his own gain. Can Amara bridge the divide between the crown and the people? Can she convince the rebels to lay down their arms and embrace dialogue? Or will the kingdom be plunged into a devastating civil war? "The Tiger's Roar" is a captivating tale of political intrigue, rebellion, and a queen's unwavering determination to save her people. It explores themes of social justice, the power of communication, and the importance of understanding the root causes of dissent. Get ready to be swept away by a story that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Book excerpt: An accountant, wife, and mother, Rebecca "Beki" Tempest led an uneventful life of middle-class leisure, happy to live in a way in which nothing exciting or traumatic ever occurred, until one boring party turned everything upside down. Plagued by a series of bizarre misfortunes, with her son lay dying and her husband straying, Beki was driven to the edge of suicide, until a perpetually drunk man appears and, like a snake oil salesman, offers a seemingly impossible salvation. Left without a choice, she follows him into a world of hedonistic immortals who saw her life - as well as every other mortal's - as nothing but another form of entertainment. In a world drowning in alcohol, gambling, and pleasure, filled with dice games, card games, and mind games, Beki soon finds herself in the middle of a massive tournament, where she is given a chance to win back her life as well as her beloved son's. But before claiming that prize, she must play against the most feared and admired elites of this strange world, all the while trying to figure out who was a friend and who was merely using her and everyone else as a pawn in their own games. Shockingly, everyone seems to know her face, and call her by a different name, though it is a name she does not recognize. The line between friend and foe was thin. The insomniac lawman with the changing face, the old hermit and his living doll, and the beautiful teashop owner with a collection of beautiful "children" all eyed her with eerie familiarity. And the rulers of the realm, the High Rollers, seem to have already marked her as an enemy, particularly the Queen of Spin, a twelve-year-old girl named Sasha. It is in this world that Beki, a normal, ordinary human, will find the unpleasant truths about herself and learn the ultimate truth behind immortality - it sucks.

Before long, it becomes apparent that hers is a prodigious talent, and as she progresses to the top of the US chess rankings she is able to forge a new life for herself. But she can never quite overcome her urge to self-destruct. For Beth, there's more at stake than merely winning and losing.

Book excerpt: The Queen's Gambit Accepted is one of the oldest openings. It comprises one of the chapters of the Göttingen manuscript, c.1490, the earliest known work devoted entirely to modern chess. Twenty of the today's top 50 chess players play the QGA. It's popularity has increased steadily over the last 20 years. After 1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4, Black yields the center and increases the scope and dynamics of every piece. This is an opening that gives the advantage to the stronger tactical player, There are numerous sacrifices on both sides. In open games such as the QGA, attention to tactics is a more effective alternative to memorizing long variations.This volume is indexed by ECO classiﬁcation so that the reader can focus on his or her area of expertise. Each of these sections contains their own pitfalls and traps. It is more fruitful to study the tactics of an opening you might encounter as White or Black than to study the knight fork, pin or skewer, one tactic at a time. When the type of tactic is provided with the puzzle, it is already half solved. Study the more common tactics found within an opening you face and you will come away with an understanding of the real dynamics of the opening and pick up tactics you can already use.This is a collection of 436 chess puzzles culled from thousands of QGA miniatures where decisive positions are reached in 25 moves or less. They are chosen only if there is only one winning move, i.e. a move that results in a clear two pawn advantage or better. Where there is a mate puzzle, only one move by White or Black will result in a forced mate in that speci?c number of moves. Solutions are found at the end of the book along with illustrative variations in italics. All variations have been checked for accuracy and uniqueness by Houdini6, a grandmaster-rated chess engine. Each variation ends with '1-0' (White wins/Black resigns) or '0-1' (Black wins/White resigns).

Book excerpt: A richly imagined, gorgeously written historical novel set in the Stuart court featuring a unique hero: Jeffrey Hudson, a dwarf tasked with spying on the beautiful but vulnerable queen It's 1629, and King Charles I and his French queen Henrietta Maria have reigned in England for less than three years. Young dwarf Jeffrey Hudson is swept away from a village shambles and plunged into the Stuart court when his father sells him to the most hated man in England—the Duke of Buckingham. Buckingham trains Jeffrey to be his spy in the household of Charles' seventeen-year-old bride, hoping to gain intelligence that will help him undermine the vivacious queen's influence with the king. Desperately homesick in a country that hates her for her nationality and Catholic faith, Henrietta Maria surrounds herself with her "Royal Menagerie of Freaks and Curiosities of Nature"—a "collection" consisting of a giant, two other dwarves, a rope dancer, an acrobat/animal trainer and now Jeffrey, who is dubbed "Lord Minimus." Dropped into this family of misfits, Jeffrey must negotiate a labyrinth of court intrigue and his own increasingly divided loyalties. For not even the plotting of the Duke nor the dangers of a tumultuous kingdom can order the heart of a man. Though he is only eighteen inches tall, Jeffrey Hudson's love will reach far beyond his grasp—to the queen he has been sent to destroy. Full of vibrant period detail, The Queen's Dwarf by Ella March Chase is a thrilling and evocative portrait of an intriguing era.
